Layla, Ma Raison

Directed by Taïeb Louhichi

With Tarık Akan, Anca Nicola, Fatima Ben Saïdane, Safy Boutella and Mouna Noureddine

Since childhood, Qays and Layla have been in love. Qays, being a poet, publicly sings of his love, crying it out joyously far and wide - just the sort of public proclamation which was strictly condemned at the time. Distraught yet fearless, Qays stubbornly proclaims with all the more vigor his love for Layla, who remains entrapped by her own clan.
